My final grades for semester one are starting to filter back in and I have to say I'm pretty happy with how I've gone.  This is the first semester that I've studied both externally and on-campus, and with the overlapping dates, something that I was quite concerned about, I seem to have had it under control (the constant hair-pulling aside while attempting to balance my calendar!).  The grades so far include: (updates to this post in red)

I have to say that I'm extremely happy with the result for PHI350: Philosophy and Cinema, not only for my overall result but because my final essay received 100%, something that I've not acheived in a philosophy paper before! 

I'm a little anxious to see how my other subjects pan out.  I'm not too concerned with the PHIL2400: Ethics and the Passions result as I loved this course and my paper, I think, exudes the passion that I felt.  I'm concerned about the ABT31: Comparative Indigenous Studies course.  This just wasn't my cup of tea.  I'm used to writing critical essay and, apparently, that's not what's expected in Indigenous Studies.  It's quite hard to remove one hat and simply replace it with another.
